Looking for a new functional / stylish laptop bag. I don't want to spend more than $200. Any recommendations?

I love, love my OMG bag from Lo & Sons, if you watch for a sale you can get a good price on one. Stylish (I think) and super functional for work and business travel. They hold up beautifully, the original one I purchased in 2012 and it still looks perfect.

I swear I read about this in one publication or another every week. It's on a lot of "best of" lists. I think it's canvas but it looks like leather so I guess it's coated? Full disclosure I do not have one. But it's on my radar.

@T.H.O.U.: I have this bag, which is SEVERAL times worth anything I've ever spent on a purse/bag, and it was worth every single penny. It looks great, stylish and professional. I use it for a purse/laptop tote during the week and move my wallet to my Patagonia sling on the weekend.

@SweetCaroline: do the rounded straps dig in if the bag is heavy? My other purse that has straps like that digs after adding my laptop a notebook and a water bottle.
I just move my wallet from weekday work bag to weekend diaper bag

Another vote for Lo and Sons, I love love the OMG bags. Maybe a little more than your budget but excellent quality and well organized.

@MACSUNSHINE: I’ve been lusting after the Lo & Sons weekender bags. Do you have anything besides the OMG?

@SweetiePie: I blame you for getting me started on these bags, but I have the Catalina
We use it for DD's overnight bag--its perfect for that. I got it for less than $100 on some random sale. I mean--watching the lady pack the bag on the video...it's like clowns coming out of a tiny car. Magical. Its the same IRL.

@SweetCaroline: her packing the bag is seriously what sold me. It’s really soothing but gets me excited at the same time. Like, butterflies in my stomach. I’m such a loser.

@sweetiepie I have not pulled the trigger but really want the Cantalina. I am waiting for one of my old weekender or beach bags to go so I can justify it...I have also thought about getting it ‘for’ my son, just haven’t done it yet. Maybe cyber Monday, I always get excited and go crazy that day .

@MACSUNSHINE: I just gave away a few of the Vera Bradley duffle bags that I’ve accumulated over the years (all as gifts) so I’m really considering it. At a minimum I put it on my Christmas list and hoping ether my husband gets it or maybe my mom and sister go in together

@MACSUNSHINE: i have the catalina and honestly its soooo heavy when packed full... would consider getting one of the deluxe editions they have now... with the additional strap its probably much more comfortable! i love the OG bag as a weekender.. especially if i pack my clothes in a packing cube in the middle (can fit a full and half eagle creek cube in there)!
